About Ace Strategies

Trusted relationships. Industry specialists. Strategic communicators.

Ace Strategies launched in 2024 to offer an independent, personalised and responsive corporate affairs firm to the market.

Founder Matt Neagle was intent to deliver impactful outcomes that make a difference and has built a community of specialists who are solutions driven and able to overcome complex challenges.

Headquartered in Adelaide, we support Australian and international organisations to navigate complex political or industrial environments and regulated sectors.

From global markets to local communities, and the corridors of Australian parliament, our work is grounded in the belief that integrity, approachability, and a sincere willingness to serve are the prerequisites for success.

Global perspective

Diplomatic engagement

Our expertise is not theoretical; it is forged through direct engagement with domestic and transnational decision-makers and influencers. As journalists, ministerial advisers, diplomats, and corporate strategists, we have navigated the nexus of business and public policy for decades.

Our standing within high-level political, diplomatic and industrial circles underpins our ability to assist clients to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes.

We offer versatility and trusted counsel to help you in your most important moments.

Technical literacy

Industry leadership

Beyond policy, our team possesses deep technical literacy and experience in the delivery of workforce solutions, new industrial capabilities, and dual-use technology accelerator programs.

We translate complex operating models to diverse audiences – and simplify intricate logistical data into clear, actionable tactics. This ensures Ace Strategies provides advice that is operationally viable and effective.

From the field

Values born from experience

Our leadership is "human-centric," honed through careers as international video journalists, implementing public policy for the benefit of communities, or forging relationships to support regional security initiatives. Integrity is central to all we do - we seek trusted, enduring and meaningful relationships.
